CSA STAR registry is increasingly required for the certification of the highest levels of cloud security services and an alternative to the ISO 27001 certification<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With the significant growth of cloud computing and increase in data use, more organizations of all sizes are moving to cloud-based security services while facing the need to secure sensitive data stored in the cloud, as well as investigate and implement cloud security options. Several cloud security standards are available to support this attempt.<\/p>\n

To certify the security and reliability of cloud services<\/strong>, users, especially public administrations, are now increasingly relying on “third party” organizations that qualify their security levels.<\/p>\n

One of the most popular information security standards in existence of cloud services is ISO 27001<\/strong> which certifies the existence of some specific requirements for management of information security at a global level<\/p>\n

The International Organization for Standardization-ISO<\/em> is, in fact, the most important organization in the world that develops and publishes international technical standards.<\/p>\n

Obtaining the ISO 27001 certification, however, requires such specific requirements, that only some technology “giants” possess at international level. This is why Cloud Security Alliance<\/em> – STAR (Security Trust Assurance and Risk) Program represents a valid alternative.<\/p>\n
